“I don’t really think much of it, truthfully,” Brady said on WEEI-FM radio in Boston. “I just kind of have moved on....They definitely did some different things than we were expecting, but nothing that really blew our mind."

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he’d heard about the salacious charge made by Smith.

“Yeah, I saw them,” he said of the comments. “I don’t have any comment on them. I think that’s a league matter.”

Smith certainly had plenty to say: “Either teams are spying on us or scouting us…I don’t know what it is.”

Smith said it was “miraculous” that teams were able to adapt to unique changes the Texans made.

“It was kind of fishy.”

Brady had a better explanation for it: “Execution is the name of the game. We did a good job there in the second half.”

In 2008, the NFL fined Belichick $500,000 and the Patriots $250,000 and took away a 2008 first-round draft pick after discovering the Patriots videotaped the New York Jets signals during a game on Sept. 9, 2007. Belichick apologized, saying he thought it was allowed.
